Six months ago I got a little nudge in the right direction, and this month my very first published quilt hit the stands. My quilt is called Honey Pot, and features the Sweet as Honey fabric by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery Fabrics.

The magazine is the December issue of Down Under Quilts, and it's available in newsagents now.

What an anticipated arrival! These gorgeous fabrics were waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. We are still waiting on two bolts, but in the mean time, yardage and mini bundles (and charm packs) are available in the shop.

With a full time job, my sewing time seems to be getting less and less. And with the warmer weather finally approaching I don't see it getting any better. But I did finally manage to start a new project!I've been blissfully eyeing off a Gooseberry Jelly roll, from the lovely Lella Boutique.

And who could go past her gorgeous Kaleidoscope pattern? I found a little time over the weekend (apart from a tonne of spring cleaning) to whip up the first few blocks. They are super easy! No crazy points to line up at all.

Sometimes you just need a quilt in a hurry, and last weekend was one of those. One of my friends recently had a baby and I desperately wanted a quilt to gift her when we visited. Then I remembered the single-block churn dash quilt in the Thimble Blossom's book Simply Retro. Perfect!

I know my blog is a little neglected these days. I sarted a full time job recently and it means my sewing and blogging time is greatly reduced. But there have been a few things happening in what little spare time I have.

My newest project is Starstruck, a pattern from Lella Boutique. I've chosen to use Bonnie and Camille's Daysail.

The snowball blocks have gone together quickly and easily. I wasn't sure about the teal but I love how they turned out.

And I'm making good progress on the stars, squeezing a few in when I get a minute or ten.

With more free time than I'm used to, I'm making the most of it and playing around with a few pattern ideas at the moment. I'd been wanting to make a "plus quilt" for ages and with a pretty bundle of Kate Spain's Sunnyside staring me in the face, it was time.

Both myself and one of my Instagram followers have been testing the pattern and it's looking good. Hopefully not long until the PDF will be available in my shop.

About Me

I'm a Melbourne girl with a passion for food, wine, travel…and quilting. I also love spending time in the garden and the kitchen; there is nothing like a cake fresh out of the oven! My latest adventure is running my own online quilt shop while continuing to dabble in science, and trying to squeeze in as much travel as possible.
